Brief summary
Investigate the postprandial glycemic responses of healthy individuals when consuming commercially available table grape varietals or grape juice, compared to a standard amount of glucose.
Detailed description
The study aims to investigate the postprandial glycemic responses of healthy individuals when consuming commercially available table grape varietals, compared to a standard amount of glucose. The study also aims to evaluate a new grape varietal, compared to other common table grapes, with regard to glycemic index and metabolic response related to inflammation.
Interventions
Milano grapes to test post-prandial glycemic response
Table grapes to test post-prandial glycemic response
Grape juice to test post-prandial glycemic response
Standardized glucose beverage to test post-prandial glycemic response
